Does anyone have an original key for the Gamewell Police Master box?

Can someone post a photo of the correct key?

There are people who collect  Gamewell call boxes. I would think someone  is offering repro gamewell keys.
A lot of police and fire related collectors also buy them. You might search for a collectors group.
Just a guess,

Russ, you best bet is Jim's suggestion.    I'm sure some of those collectors will probably have a spare key.     If you get stuck, I can make one for you, but I'm in Canada and it'd cost you the shipping here and back.     No charge for the key, as cost is minimal, but I would need the lock and the door plug that the key slides through to get to the lock
Below are 2 brass keys.     The top one is a factory key for traffic lite control boxes, and the bottom is one that I made for Western & Northern 325 & 525 outdoor call boxes.

Unlike the locks on coin vaults on payphones, the keys for call boxes aren't complicated.   Click / double click to enlarge the picture.

I am not sure if this is the correct key but I just found it on eBay:

If it was cheaper I would buy it for my call box.
